AT doens't talk to scope if other programs are using ASCOM.

    In order to connect AT to my scope, I have to have all other instances of the ASCOM controller inactive. Ie if I have PHD running or stellarium scope, AT will not talk to the scope. Conversely, if I have AT connected, the other programs cannot talk to the scope. I have tried altering the time polling times, but this had no effect.

    This issue appears to have been resolved with the most recent version of the ascom controller.

      Good day,
      I know this is an old post, but I have the same problem...
      I use the latest versions of Ascom and AT,
      The scope is a Meade LS6"
      software setup is as follow:
      To connect to the scope I use the Pixis LE server software this is connected via the POTH HUB to the ascom driver for the scope.
      APT is connected to the Pixis LE server
      PHD2 is also connected to the Pixis Server.
      and the all work togheter nicely.
      AT will not connect to the pixis server.
      AT will only connect to POTH HUB if no other application is connected to it.
      any advice please?

      best regards
      Marco

    I can't guarantee that this will help; it's just a thought.

    Have you tried the Generic Hub, rather than the POTH Hub?
